Photographers hurt my ego when they pushed me aside to click Aamir: Vidya

Mumbai: Whenever Vidya is promoting her films, journalists are the happiest lot.

Guess why?

Vidya is one actor who never shies away from giving us a befitting reply be it any query which many actors otherwise might shy away from even answering. Vidya left no stone unturned promoting her film, ‘Begum Jaan,’ as usual.

During the press interaction for ‘Begum Jaan’ with Vidya, we asked her if her ego was hurt at any point of time. Pat came a reply, “Yes! Of course, I still remember during my early days in the film industry I had gone to attend a funeral of someone from Bollywood.

Since I was one actor who reached very much early, the photographers started flashing their camera on me. They also spoke to me. Soon enough, Aamir Khan entered and these photographers pushed me aside and started clicking Aamir. My ego was hurt. However, when I reached home and shared this incident with my family members, I was a changed person.”

Adding further about the change that came in her much hurt ego, she added, “I then contemplated over certain norms and ways of being a star. I realized that Aamir has done a lot many good films and he is held in much higher esteem than I am. He is a well known star. The moment I realised this, I was perfectly normal.”

Elaborating on what she learnt from this incident, Vidya said, “I am a changed person now. If I am hurt by anything-then it may be a question asked by anyone from the media or for that matter hearing some comment on my fashion statement or some other stuff.

"I just go ahead and discuss it out with Siddharth and my family members. Until I have spilled out every bit of a not so good experience that I may have tasted, I am not content. So what I have learned is –never feel depressed or hurt take it as it comes within the stride of your life. This will keep you always happy and smiling.”
